Plan a minimum of 6 - 9 hours per week for your coursework. While online learning courses
provide flexibility in time, geography, and travel, the work required
for successful completion is identical to that for the face-to-face course.
Your instructor may specify additional time requirements
in the "Other information" field below or during your orientation.

Open to self-motivated, self-disciplined students who can handle college-level
work and study independently.

Instructor Provided Course Format

A sample Course Format is typically available in WebAdvisor's"Search for Sections" results. Course Formats explain how the instructor will conduct the class and may include: course policies, grading guidelines, assignment due dates, etc.

Accessing Your Course

Canvas (by Instructure)

Your course is using Canvas. If you are new to Canvas, please visit the
Canvas Basics course space
to become familiar with Canvas prior to the start of your course. No login is required to
access this space.

You will be able to login to Canvas about two weeks prior to the start of your class.
However, your course becomes available as of 1 AM on the official course
start date.

Logging In

Password: your Bucks Network password (used to log into any Bucks campus computer or to access any Bucks Library online database from off campus.)

If you do not know your Bucks Username, go to WebAdvisor.
Select Account information (upper right hand corner of the screen) then select What's My User ID? and follow
the prompts. You will need to provide your last name AND either your 7 digit student ID number OR your
social security #. Your Bucks username will display on the screen.

Note: Students are uploaded to Canvas several times a day. If you registered late, you won't be
able to access Canvas until the next upload takes place.

Purchasing Your Books and Other Course Materials

While you may purchase your books and other course materials from the provider of your choice (using the
ISBN number available through the course's academic department
where applicable to ensure the correct version), both the campus bookstore
and our online bookstore,
guarantee that they stock the correct version for your course.

Approximately 3 weeks prior to the start of the session you can use the link
below to see the list of books that have been selected by your instructor. If you have
any questions about the course materials listed, please contact your instructor or the academic
department directly.

Welcome to my class! This course is structured in an asynchronous, flexible style. Although you will not be required to log into the course space at any particular time of the day, I log into the course space several times a day; and I am available for questions and concerns on a regular basis, every day. I participate in the discussion forum regularly to guide and correct if necessary, AFTER ample time has been given for you to answer forum questions or to respond to comments from fellow classmates. If you have urgent or private questions or problems, please email me and I will respond promptly. Quizzes and exams are graded automatically and your grade will appear in the grade book, AFTER the quiz or exam period has ended.
Please purchase your text and your Exploration of Physics Volume I CD as soon as possible. The laboratory CD and accompanying binder are to be purchased from the bookstore for $16. Do not purachse the CD from an online site as it will cost too much.
